New economic reality effects mapping teams in property sector

Many companies have recently had to adjust to a new economic reality and this has had a knock-on effect on many GIS mapping teams within the property sector, to the extent that many teams' staffing levels were cut back.

In many cases this meant that mapping responsibility was handed over to more general, non-specialist staff in an effort to save money leading to mapping needs being somewhat neglected, despite the fact that business, particularly this year, has begun to pick up again. As a consequence of this increased demand, many organisations have adopted FIND's web platform as an effective way to offset recent developments and compensate for their reduced mapping support.
